CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of June 9, 2014 — Regular Meeting Page 15 of 16 Advised he would like to see the City pursue annexation to extend the City's boundaries in order to gain commercial activity and increase the City's tax base. A brief discussion ensued regarding the feasibility of extending the City's boundaries along U.S. Highway 17-92 past the Jai Alai property, as the City had previously deannexed the right-of-way in that area in the early 1990's. Commissioner Fry stated he just wanted to raise the annexation issue again as something for the Commission to think about for the City's future. Commissioner Sandra Solomon — Seat No. 3: Stated she had received an inquiry from a citizen living on Lake Howell regarding the algae blooms and the difficulty it presented to boating. She inquired whether a resolution to that issue was being considered. Mr. Newlon and Mr. Gisclar confirmed that maintenance of Lake Howell is done by Seminole County and not the City.
